"The end result was the market closing for now," the post said. "The owner was arrested for several violations related to licensing and the upkeep of the store. At this time the market is closed and will be closed for an undetermined amount of time."

According to a police report, the 34-year-old owner, of Columbia Heights, was arrested a little after 1 p.m. at the market under suspicion of food adulteration, unsanitary conditions and not having a food handler license. The Star Tribune doesn't normally name a suspect until he or she is charged. Sgt. Paul Paulos, spokesman for the St. Paul police, referred questions about the incident to officials with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, whom the police were assisting.

A spokeswoman for the Agriculture Department said that there wasn't any additional information that could be shared because of the open investigation.

The police's Facebook post said residents may see "activity inside the store in the coming days." The owner and employees can be at the store, but aren't allowed to sell or remove products.
